i still despise iphone UI. i admit that i frustrate rather quickly, but honestly i handed the device back to the owner in 30 seconds the first time i held one. completely unintuitive for me, and i am now old enough to not want to waste time learning new tech because new tech is outdated junk in...

ok, some research and i discovered that around android 10 they changed it so that more than one app can have mic access at the same time. i discovered this first because i can run both PilferShush and Mic Blocker at the same time on the test device so, the only way ro be sure that this app...

ok, so they have ran for just under an hour, with no internet access. after that time, i checked and the camera locker app is the number one or two memory use on the device (occasionally more than Settings, even) and the mic blocker is number three for comparison i ran PilferShush Jammer and...

ok, i got the apps on said device. this was rather tricky, as Goolag wont allow downloads without signing in normally, i turn to Uptodown, arguably the 'number two' app store. they were not there nor were they on APKMirror, which is odd i had to use APKPure in order to find them and install...

in fact, if things work out i will ride my bike to where i can get online today

sorry, no updates yet. i am in the process of moving and i have no internet most of the time. then life problems get in the way at the same time to top it all off hoping to begin soon the device is low spec so if there are issues then it should show up rather soon did you check what apps...

both of the above mentioned apps have ads, so a firewall would be desired anyway. this is yet another reason i went the route that i did. anyway, i have locate a cheap android 10 in my collection, and it even has Google poo that 'cant' be turned off, so it should work fine for the test...

i have devices of much lower caliber, but i think that may help in this respect since we are testing for excessive memory use. the first thing i would do on your part is to open developers options and check runnimg services to see what apps are using the most memory. then leave this open in...

i use Video Transcoder from F-droid and YouCut from Uptodown.

thank you for this information. it is exactly this type of thing that makes me not want to use any Google app.

i may have a device that i could use for the purpose but i am limited on internet at this time. if you post links and the device info, i can see what devices i have that could be similar, and test them for you. as far as a microphone blocking app goes, as far as i understand they can only...

is it the manufacturers or is it the carriers? seems more of a carrier thing to be locked up like that

if i find out a friend has alexa or similar i love asking it inappropriate questions about current events six million cookies, immigration, etc. i get off on making absurd and/or unkind searches with it, fully relishing the fact that i am skewing results for future searches long after i am...
